<p style="margin:1.2em 0px!important">As far as I can tell, the distribution works well, including QML, however it is distributed as a source-distribution, which means it’ll install on any platform yet only work on Windows; the reason being that it enables automatic distribution from GitHub via Travis. I'd like to have it distributed for OSX as well though.</p><p style="margin:1.2em 0px!important">If anyone has any ideas on cross-compiling/distributing, I'd love to hear about them.</p>

never had an issue. This code has been used extensively in production with<br>
over 100 users inside various 3rd party applications (3dsmax, softimage xsi,<br>
more recently maya), a bunch of in house applications, and from python.exe<br>
itself.<br>
<br>
However you MUST use the same msvc for anything that passes around c++<br>
objects, or you WILL get crashes.<br>
<br>
Fortunately libpython is an all C api and it's my understanding that the C ABI<br>
has been stable between msvc versions. I think the new/delete problem does<br>
not apply because of the way python's memory management works. I also think<br>
that any python modules i've compiled do not pass FILE pointers to python's<br>
api.<br>

I'm not saying problems aren't possible just that in my experience it works<br>
fine.</div></blockquote></div><br></span>This has generally been my experience as well. Namely, at work we use Maya 2013 which embeds CPython 2.7 compiled against VS2010, and most 3rd party C extensions work fine. Additionally, we have a few internal C extensions as well, which are compiled against VS2010, and they work fine in Python 2.7 as downloaded from <a href="http://python.org" target="_blank">python.org</a>.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">In a few cases, however, we have run into issues, which are quite annoying. Generally, any issues show up almost immediately, however in a few cases crashes have shown up days or weeks after starting to use a library, when somebody decides to call a function that then passes a C std object across the library boundary, which are then often very difficult to debug.<span><font color="#888888"><br><br clear="all"><div>Chris</div>
